yes but it will rub pretty good. It's not a big deal to beat the inner fenders. Once its done you won't be able to see it with the tires on and if you buy a can of undercoating you won't ever notice

I don't know what happened to those old pics. I still have the same setup for now but I'm planning on changing soon. Just have to decide on which wheels I'm going with. I've got it narrowed down to 3 different sets.

Here's a new pic from this past weekend when I had my car in the Dallas Autorama

Actually mine are Regular TT2 classics. Same profile as the TT2 just gray centers. But you are right- the TTM's are glossy.

My wheels-

They fade over time....hence the lighter look. I've had mine for about 5yrs now.

My 11's fit fine for the inside...but on the outside - I did have to roll the fender lips.

Those look really dark, is it just the lighting from the picture or do they have a gold tint to them also?

There's no gold in them at all, that would look kinda ghetto. I took the picture in my basement under a 60watt bulb, so the lighting is very bad. I wanted a deep grey metallic look whereas yours seem to have a blue tint compared to mine. They do lighten up a bit in natural light.
